Talk:Sokol space suit

In use as of 2008? Try 2010.
It's still in use as of now 2010, evidenced by |a tweet by an astronaut. Not sure if this qualifies as a reliable source so I'm not editing the article. If someone decides it is a reliable source then please go ahead and edit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by StarkRG (talk • contribs) 23:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Here's a picture of both Glove 1 & 2 being used on the same mission 2005.--Craigboy (talk) 05:31, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

In 2010 it looks like they're wearing Glove 1.--Craigboy (talk) 13:47, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Ownership status
The items in the 1993 Sotheby's auction came from the closure of the Moscow Space Museum; the Russian government does not nominally own them, they quite clearly sold them. And they may well turn up on ebay from time to time, although similar items might be of more dubious provenance. Clarification of that section would be good; there are no cites for the claims of disputed ownership. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.41.192 (talk) 09:52, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Where does the name come from?
"Sokol" means "falcon" in Russian, but why was the spacesuit named thus? 24.37.29.254 (talk) 12:14, 5 April 2017 (UTC)


 * All of the Soviet/Russian spacesuits are named after birds, presumably due to the connection between birds/flying/spaceflight. 4thGalilean (talk) 00:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
